Engine to gearbox assembly
« on: 24 June 2009, 15:34:19 »
I am hoping somebody can help here, I got my omega back after the garage I bought it from after they fitted a replacement engine after the cambelt failed on my way home from picking the car up. I've had the car back for a couple of weeks and it is running ok but when I had it up on the ramps I noticed that there appears to be a cover plate missing off the front of the gearbox bell housing (I can see the front of the flywheel) I phoned the garage up and they said it didn't have a cover plate on to start with. I was hoping someone could tell me the correct description for this cover  as I intend to get one and fit it(The car is 2 litre facelift with an auto box). Any help would be appreciated.

That's what I would have thought as well, but have also heard it described as a flywheel stone guard as well :-/

is it the tin plate you are on about,? if they say it was never there that means either the engine or the box has been out before as its sandwiched between b/housing & block so cant fall off. :o

Does anybody have any photos or links to photos of the area where the bell housing connects to engine(underside) so I can compare what I should have with what I've got?

Thought I'd have another go, does anybody have any pics or diagrams of what I should have or even better have the part I'm missing.  With not having seen what was there originally I'm  a bit stuck so any help would be greatly appreciated.
